Well, that's not a whole lot to go on but it seems like a solid, positive premise. Can you share anymore with us?

I'm assuming that heart is a metaphor for emotion here because it's just a blood pumping muscle and no feelings or thoughts actually come from it. So this becomes a debate between emotion and logic, both of which originate in the brain. I don't think it's a question of listening to one or the...

What are some of your favorite musicals and/or plays? It's hard to pick for me but I really enjoy Chicago, The Phantom of the Opera, Sweeney Todd, Repo: The Genetic Opera and The Rocky Horror Show as my musicals. My hands down favorite play is The Crucible by Arther Miller but I also enjoy...

It's an interesting story, that's for sure, but there a lot of spelling and grammatical errors that distracted me from the overall story. With a quick run through and proofread you might have something good on your hands.

When I have a bad day, it helps to just stop thinking about whatever is bringing me down and focus all of my attention on something else, even if it's only for a brief period of time.

I see an autistic kid two or three times a week and I agree that it can be a challenge to deal with them. He often doesn't seem to register the things I say, he's very impulsive and he repeats his actions again and again. He gets very focused on whatever it is he wants.

I have not read it yet but I will soon. I also don't understand why the BDSM is controversial. If you don't like it, that's fine but there are a lot of people who do. I've actually never been with anyone who didn't like at least a little bit of pain during sex.

I would love to have a river filled with knowledge. All of the secrets of the universe, everything that science has yet to discover and ever will discover. Understanding all the mysteries of creation, how things work. Knowledge is the only true power, the one thing that affects the entire world...

I'm not sure what you mean. If it's something that's not wrong to me and of no significance, I'm still going to defend it when others attack it. Only defending what is important to you seems kind of selfish to me.

Ah, but not everybody can just leave, even if they want to. Take a look at what happened in Iraq, when the new leader started persecuting Sunni Muslims. He promised that "rivers of blood will flow" if they try to leave. What about them? Likewise, in a more civilized country, leaving still isn't...

You're right Sandra and I was pleased to see your response about abuse because in the book, that quote is made to the narrator by a friend attempting to explain why his sister allowed herself to be hit by her boyfriend.

This is a quote from one of my favorite books, Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower. The quote has had a profound emotional impact on me and I thought it's a good quote to discuss from a philosphical stand-point. What do you think of this quote? Do you you agree with it? "We...

I had an idea for a fantasy series that would also be very funny. It would center around the Christian concept of angels and their day to day life. They would carry out their jobs, talk about the universe and maybe even break the fourth wall. And of course, there will be extraordinary events...

How does it hurt you in any way? And decency and respect are different for everyone, it's impossible for anything to ever be decent or respctful because sombody won't see it that way. If you feel that having sex with cars is degrading (And I didn't make that example up, there are many people who...

Can a human being ever truly know their purpose? I have saved the lives of three people, it's possible I've saved more unknowingly. If I accomplish nothing else for as long as I live, then my purpose was to save their lives.
